AdullamAdullamAdullam (Hebrew: עֲדֻלָּם‬) is an ancient ruin, formerly
known by the Arabic appellation ʿAīd el Mâ (or `Eîd el Mieh),
built upon a hilltop overlooking the Elah Valley, south of Bet Shemesh
in Israel. In the late 19th century, the town was still in ruins.[1]
The hilltop ruin is also known by the name Khurbet esh-Sheikh Madkour,
named after Madkour, one of the sons of the Sultan Beder, for whom is
built a shrine (wely) and formerly called by its inhabitants Wely
Madkour.[2] The hilltop is mostly flat, with cisterns carved into the
rock. The remains of stone structures which once stood there can still
be seen. Sedimentary layers of ruins from the old Canaanite and
Israelite eras, mostly potsherds, are noticeable everywhere, although
olive groves now grow atop of this hill, enclosed within stone hedges.
